Home Renovation Firm Calls Numbers on DNC Registry, Alleges Fla. Class Action

Bath Fitter, a home renovation company, made unsolicited telemarketing calls to consumers’ phone numbers that were listed on the national do not call registry, alleged a Telephone Consumer Protection Act class action Wednesday (docket 1:24-cv-21682) in U.S. District Court for Southern Florida in Miami. Otto Pardinas also alleges the company used automated systems to make telemarketing calls into Florida, and that by doing so, it violated the provisions of the Florida Telephone Solicitation Act, said the complaint. The Florida resident personally listed his number on the national DNC registry in 2004, it said. Pardinas uses the number for personal, residential and household reasons, the number isn’t associated with any business, and he never consented to receive Bath Fitter’s telemarketing calls, nor did he ever do any business with the company, it said. The company nevertheless made at least five prerecorded telemarketing calls to the plaintiff, it said. Pardinas, through counsel, wrote to Bath Fitter about the telemarketing calls he received, and the defendant didn’t deny making the calls, it said.
